“I haven’t see a Dirk (Nowitzki) commercial, I haven’t seen a Jason Kidd commercial, Jason Terry commercial,” Stevenson said. “But I’ve seen a LeBron McDonald’s commercial. Dwyane Wade is on a T-Mobile commercial. I just feel like we don’t get the respect as a team that worked hard to win a championship.”

“We are the champs,” Marion said. “We got the hardware. Well … we haven’t received it yet, but we’re the champs.”

“We’re going to go down as the longest champs in NBA history,” he said.
